"Right now there are about 200,000 Canadians living in #LTC homes. About a third of them could've actually stayed in their own homes, with proper home care support," said @DrSamirSinha via @CBCNews with @cbcErica, @T_Foxcroft & @kt_pedersen.

Stats Canada says a growing proportion of the population are seniors, and they will require home care.
But how is Canada doing in terms caring for our seniors compared to our European colleagues?
@cbcErica investigates.

THREAD: Ontario's Auditor General is today calling for a return of comprehensive inspections in long term care. The Ford gov't, which cut them, questioned our journalism months ago showing those inspections are 5x better than what's replaced them.

During a 25-minute news conference, Merrilee Fullerton took no responsibility for what happened in long-term care. She blamed it all mostly on previous governments, but also the health bureaucracy, community spread, and scientists disagreeing about masks & aerosol spread.
Very excited and honoured that this story has been nominated at the #CdnScreenAwards
Since the story aired, @JoelHardenONDP took on the issue in the legislature, and "Voula's Law" was voted for unanimously earlier this month. @manciniCBC @davidcommon

Yet again @facebook @instagram @twitter @google failed us by continuing to spread dangerous lies in order to make more money. Congress gave them 24 hours to take action and they didn’t.
